A True Workhorse? 2023 Can-Am Outlander PRO HD5 Work Review

👏👏👏

I guess you just have a 2” ball trailer now, lol. Nice machine, but I think I will stick with my Honda foreman 520.

Great video. That looks like a good, well-thought-out machine... When it's new. What will it look like in 5 years? Is it a "work machine (therefore predicted to be replaced on the company dime, on a fleet schedule every 4 years)" or a "work machine (this thing better last and work without much hassle and generate a net gain rather than a net loss)"? Good job differentiating the HD Pro from the regular model, that is something the spec sheet won't easily reveal.

I bought the new HD7 Hunting Edition and I’m absolutely loving it and all the features included.

Does the 2up HD5/7 come with diff lock ?

Love the videos guys!!! Great effort as always.

You never mentioned ITC, work or normal mode ?

I’m getting the hd7 pro hunting edition not specifically for work but because it comes with the features I want in a quad.
Power steering ✔️
Front bumper✔️
Rear bumper ✔️
Full skid plate ✔️
Winch ✔️
Camo ✔️
Visco 4 lock ✔️
Decent speed ✔️
Built in storage ✔️

Nice job testing it out. Haven't had one come in yet, but we will. Even people buying utility machines ask about the top speed, or horsepower. Amazing. I expect that from the sport sxs crowd since they might look indestructible and fast sitting still, just add giant tires and every accessory they can cram on their machine then they find out what breaks! You can't hear any noises with that aftermarket exhaust and speakers banging out tunes as loud as possible. Clutches, axles, transmissions, and motors pushed past their limit without proper maintenance or fluid and filter checks. When you tear open an engine that drained itself due to a hole the size of a baseball and a connecting rod with a 90 degree angle near where the piston used to be, and the customer is in disbelief that it might have been their fault, I just go out back to the boneyard and laugh my ass off. Later Stephen.

Awesome review

As a long time Can AM Outlander owner, I am thinking the Pro models might just be the best option; stiffer suspension, selectable front locker.. seems pretty good.

The 500/700 should get the selectable front locker. And does anyone know if a universal 2up like the Nomad or Black Boar can be added to these bikes now that the rear rack is sunken?.. i guess a filler piece would be needed and a DIY LinQ solution

Wouldn’t the Xt perform the same with a different spring pre load setting? They have 5 “clicks” of adjusting

This is a pro xu not a regular pro.

Got the pro xu hd7 and love it.
Less expensive than a grizz or top of the line honda and has more features and feels faster. Would have never bought a can am until now. Been a honda fan. Wanted a Grizzly but saved 3k and got something better imo.

like how you showed the mistake and the trailer flipping, could have easily edited that out. I appreciate seeing it, were all human brother, great content.

Wow Honda 150 lbs less weight

Does the 500 have significantly less power than the 700 feel wise?

Glad i saw this video. You answered questions i didn’t know I had about the Pro. After seeing this and knowing what I will be using one for I’m leaning towards the pro model.

500 Kingquad rider, work the crap out of it, just hitting 10.000 km, but this unit sounds perfect for what I do with it. I find traction, more than power, is the limiting factor for hauling gravel up hills to fill potholes, firewood out of a muddy bush trail. The extra weight might be a benefit.

Great review and now I know what make a PRO. I will stick with my xt. Why is can am phasing out the 650?

I have a 2013 Honda Rancher 420 4x4. I will stick with it.

Made for the farm

next time pull a bigger trailor with more weight, that was about 350 pounds, get it up to 1000 pounds and least and tow that bitch through a field like i do with my 2001 honda forman

lol funny when trailer tipped :)

Looks like a good option. Size seems right too, some ATV's are so big they are ridiculous.

How’s the new belt on the ‘23. Are they reliable? Or do they break under normal use?

wow it has a phone charger, game changer folks.

The xu is not the base model. The pro 5 and 7 hd are the base. The real difference is no dps in the actual base pro.

Great video!
What kind of trailer is that?

Damn those headlights are hella sexy ngl

You quoted the price for the “Pro XU”, isn’t the review for the PRO HD5?

Im turning 15 and i have this HD5. But I’m gonna use it for driving around like to school and work, so I’m waiting to see how it’s gonna do on the road

I got this bike without power steering and i love it but i am getting it in the near future but if i dont im still good

When you did this test, did you have the springs on the softest setting or the highest setting? I'm particularly curious when you did the trail riding portion at the very end and you talked about it kinda of hopping in corners if you hit a rock?

Use a 16x6 Trailer to haul my Yamaha Grizzly and use the same Trailer behind the Grizzly to do work around the farm.
